Equipping of the saints for the work of Ministry
Ephesians 4:12
The Worship Ministry at Calvary Chapel Ridgecrest exists to fulfill a call to worship our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. As we gather together in our weekly worship services, we sing songs of praise and worship in adoration, allowing God’s Holy Spirit to move among us so that we may have hearts to hear from Him. Worship is the natural response of someone who comes to God with a grateful heart, giving Him thanks for all He is and all He has done.
This ministry is for those who have been musically gifted by the Lord and have a passion to use their gifts and talents to glorify Jesus Christ. The goal of this ministry is to draw attention to the person of Jesus and encourage the body of Christ to “come before His presence with singing” – Psalm 100. As followers of Christ, it’s our great joy and privilege to bring Him our hearts in praise. We believe worship to God should be spiritual. Therefore, we remain flexible and yielded to the leading of the Holy Spirit to direct our worship
